I'm curious - in which country is "football" used as the name of a sport
that doesn't involve feet? I know of many countries where "football"
refers to a sport where the use of hands is prohibited, and others where
it's allowed, but I'm not aware of any where the use of feet to kick the
ball is prohibited.
You are, of course, nitpicking. American football, as I'm sure you're
aware, is almost entirely not played with the feet.
Yes, there is kicking involved, but it is a very small part of the game and
is almost irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
Thus ends today's lecture on sports. You may resume your normally scheduled programming. (See, that's a little joke, because this *is* a programming newsgroup...)
